The report of the committee, submitted to the
Secretary a few days since. is said to show de-

is represented by due-bils of employees of the
Office, TO whom Bacon advanced money. Some
of these due bills run far back as 1879. 1t is
believed a considerable part of the money repre-
sented by these bills can be recovered. So far
the investigation has gone it does not prove
that Bacon appropriated the money to his own
private use, but indicates. rather, that he was
too accommodating to his friends.

Treatment of Horses.

There is an amazing amount of unnecessary
cruelty in the treatment of the noble horse.
Farm laborers and teamsters too frequent
" ign GRANT of the first principles of horseman-
pre- maturely old and unfit for service at twelve
or fifteen years. when they should be good for
twenty years more. It is said that the average
years of usefulness of the horse are much
less in America than in any other
country If teamsters understood the
first principles of their business,
there would be much less whipping, jerking,
overlooking and general i'll treatment and more
attention to proper fitting of harness and other
essential matters. The perversity of man is too
often exhibited in merciless i'll usage of horses
stalled in deep mud and overloaded, when the
fault is entirely with the driver. In this way
good horses are made vicious, intractable and
balky. Farmers cannot be too careful in en-
blowing hands who know how to properly adjust
the harness and who will not willingly, and who
have too much intelligence to lgnorantly, i'll
treat his team.

A physician of San Francisco has invented an
improved locomotive headlight which promises
to be quite useful The improvement admits Of
the turning of the light to various points of the
line while the train is running The lantern is
supported frame which has both lateral
and vertical movement and the operating mech
anism is arranged to be entirely under the
control of the engineer. It is claimed by the
inventor that this arrangement will be of great
service to engineers along dangerous or doubtful
parts OF the road. and in stormy wea Their, as by
turning the light to either side, he can examine
the ground thoroughly. and will not be put to
the necessity of feeling his way among hidden
dangers. Threatening trees. rocks or masses of
earth may be instantly seen. and by the quick
application of the air-b brakes disaster may be
averted. The engineer is also enabled by this
device to shoot the light across sharp curves and
examine the line some distance ahead.
